SAFE SCHOOL ADVOCATE SUMMIT

There are only a few days left to apply for the Safe Schools Advocacy Summit!

Click here to apply now

The Safe Schools Advocacy Summit is a four-day event, March 2 - 5, where participants (students and non-students alike) learn about bullying and harassment and the legislative and political efforts underway to make schools safer environments for all.

Participants will work with GLSEN staff, learn how to become effective advocates on the issue, and lobby their Congressional representatives on the Safe Schools Improvement Act and the Student Non-Discrimination Act. We have spots for about 40 participants. If you live in the United States, you are eligible to apply, and we give increased consideration to applicants from key Congressional districts.

The conference is free (including travel, meals, and accommodation costs) for all selected participants and will take place March 2 - 5, 2013.

The experience doesn’t end when you go home. After the summit, participants remain connected with GLSEN and participate in ongoing policy actions throughout the year. If you aren’t selected to attend the summit in-person, we’ll have opportunities for you to advocate online, so stay connected!

Applications are due on Monday, January 28^th. 

Looking forward to reading your application,
Nathan Smith
